Sarah Palin is wrong on this one – Rick Santorum is the most electable conservative

Posted on January 29, 2012 by David Hall

I very much admire Sarah Palin. I’ve read her autobiography, and view her as a true, freedom-loving patriot. But she and other conservatives are making a gross tactical error in backing Newt Gingrich. It’s splintering the Republican party terribly and … Continue reading →

Character does matter in a Republican presidential candidate

Posted on January 11, 2012 by David Hall

My problem with Newt as a presidential candidate, from the beginning, has been the character issue. Twelve years ago, Democrats were trying to sell us on the idea that character doesn’t matter in a president – only his policies and … Continue reading →

Don’t let the Left frame the debate on same sex marriage

Posted on January 8, 2012 by David Hall

Kudos to Newt Gingrich for helping reframe the debate on same sex marriage in last night’s Republican debate. The question is the definition of marriage, not one of civil rights. It was a question from a Yahoo News reader: “Given … Continue reading →

Get ready for Republicans to cave on Keystone Pipeline

Posted on December 16, 2011 by David Hall

Posted on December 13, 2011 by David Hall

In Saturday night’s debate, Michele Bachmann accused Newt Gingrich of having once supported a cap-and-trade program to address “global warming” concerns. Newt then accused her of not getting her facts straight again. But she was correct, and I don’t believe … Continue reading →

Posted on December 6, 2011 by David Hall

It was widely reported last week that Michele Bachmann had made some reference to her idea that the United States shouldn’t have an embassy in Iran, as if she didn’t know that the United States hasn’t had an embassy in … Continue reading →
